East to the Sea

from east to the sea by mary bue

/

lyrics

peppers stain my hands
i look at them
awash in red

my eyes tear
and the seeds
scatter to the floor

must i waste in tragedy?
stare out the window
and envy young leaves?
i tire of tiring
inside i'm smiling and crying

belonging to an ocean's womb
belonging to an ocean's womb

sometimes i drown
no use in splashing
tassels scatter to the floor
and hope
and fringe
and your hands like leather
don't touch me anymore

"don't worry if you spill" she said
and my reply was
"what came before the swan? the butterfly?"

she looks so sad
staring out the window
envying, envying young leaves

i tire of tiring
inside i'm smiling and crying

belonging to an ocean's womb
